The resort’s jetty features a shaded pergola with loungers—perfect for relaxing over the clear lagoon and enjoying the sea breeze. From here, you’re just a giant stride away from the vibrant house reef, ideal for sunset and evening dives with mandarin fish. At reception, a small bar serves hot and cold drinks, alongside a boutique shop for souvenirs and essentials. Two open-air dining areas offer complimentary Wi-Fi, with meals blending Western, local, and fusion flavors.

Built woody, each room has sitting veranda set a-step away from the soft white sandy beach that stretches over 300 meters ashore the resort. Gentle crash of the beach is your night lullaby and when you wake up, first thing you hear is bird song.
